--- Doc Text *updated* ---
Cause: 
 Gluster-NFS won't resolve symbolic links into directory    handle 

Consequence: 
  mount fails when we give symlink as subdirectory for mounting

Fix: 
  Gluster-NFS should resolve symlink into directory handle.
The path mention when we create symlinks should relative to symlink which will be consistent through the file system.
In udp mount , glfs_resolve_at is used.So path contains only "../../../"etc will into root('/') even if it is out of filesystem.So we just do not consider this cases for udp

Result: 

If symlink is consistent through out file system, subdir mount for symlink will work
